The most affordable home in possibly the finest neighborhood in Palm Springs. This is a wildly charming home in the neighborhood of Old Las Palmas with a wonderful feel of old Palm Springs. In today's real estate market you often find formula remodels, homes that are redone and yet possess not one iota of soul or character. The restoration here is flawless and in keeping with the spirit and era of the home. Great architectural detail abounds with coffered ceilings, original tile and hardware in the bathrooms, concrete floors, restored cabinetry in the kitchen and restored casement windows. There are two large patios. one with BBQ and fireplace. The pool is gorgeous as are the mountain views. There is a totally self contained one bedroom casita with kitchen and how many homes feature their very own bomb shelter? A unique and stunning home.
